Bible Trivia Questions and Quiz Games Ideas

Trivia games are a fun way to learn the Bible

Patrick Henry once described the Christian Bible as “a book
worth more than all other books that were ever printed.” The Bible, without
question, is the most influential book in history. Despite this influence, absorbing
accurate biblical information is often a major challenge for most people. Many
people simply find Bible study unexciting. However, unique Bible study trivia ideas
offer inventive, fun and exciting way for students to learn all about the Bible,
memorize and reinforce their knowledge of biblical characters, places and
events.

#1 - Bible Hoops

The “Bible Hoops” trivia game is based on the game of
basketball and requires the use of a ball and a hoop. A child-size basketball
and hoop are perfect for this game. Mark off an area around the goal that
students will stand behind to shoot the ball. Select a leader to act as
“referee” and divide the students into two equal teams. The “referee” is
responsible for asking all trivia questions and scoring the answers. The game
starts with a “jump ball” question which can be answered by either team. The person
who answers correctly gets two points and the opportunity to shoot the
basketball for two more points. Then, it becomes the opposing team’s turn to
answer a trivia question. If the question is answered correctly, a team player
shoots for two additional points. The game continues in this manner until one
team reaches a predetermined winning score. When a team fails to answer a
question correctly, the opposing team may “steal” by giving the correct answer
and gaining the points. The referee may also opt to call “fouls” on players who
answer out of turn, resulting in the opposing team gaining control of the
question.

#2 - Guess Who

The “Guess Who” game involves writing the names of Bible
characters on cards or pieces of paper. Arrange the students in a circle and
give each of them one of the cards. Pick a starting point and give each person
one minute to give clues about the character on their card. If no one guesses
correctly, then move on to the next person. Continue play around the circle
until all characters have been identified. As an added incentive to
participate, award a small prize to the player who gives the most correct
answers.

#3 - Who Done It

“Who Done It” is a fun trivia game which involves one person
providing simple two-word questions to a panel of players. The questions are
based on notable actions or events that surrounded certain bible characters. An
example might be, “Who betrayed?” The answer, of course, is “Judas Iscariot.”
To make it more challenging, have teams compete in rounds of ten questions
each. The team with the most correct answers at the end of the round moves on
to play another winning team until only one team is declared champion.
